“She had lived her early years as though she were waiting for something she might, but never did, become.”
This is a story about the inarticulate nature of our innermost feelings, about obsession, heartbreak and voyeurism that is written in an elusive and hallucinatory language. Constantly shifting point of view but it’s a delight to read. Need to buy hard copy to underline all the goodies. Loved it 😍
